To help ease the economic squeeze on America's middle class families, Democratic lawmakers have introduced the Employee Free Choice Act (H.R. 800), a bill with 234 cosponsors that would help workers join together to bargain for better wages, benefits, and working conditions. Union workers earn 30 percent more, on average, than do nonunion workers, and union workers are much more likely to have healthcare, pensions and more generous paid time off.

joyofNOSEX...YOU ARE ONE OF LEAST intelligent posters on youtube.This man is a bought and paid for union hack.He takes in a 70% of his contributions from unions...no wonder his legislation is targeted at filling the pockets of unions. This piece of crap could care less about the people, This wacko is greatly responsible for cutting the water off from the Central Valley of California. To date 40,000 people are on food lines,out of work and crating a huge , dried up, dustbowl.
this idiot is full of crap! SECRET BALLOT IS THE FOUNDATION OF A DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC! WITHOUT SECRET BALLOT WE WILL FALL UNDER THE CONTROL OF FASCISM. THIS HYPOCRTE RECEIVES 95% OF HIS CAMPAIGN FUNDS FROM EVERY UNION YOU CAN THINK OF AND MORE.ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE GEORGE MILLER DONOR LIST.THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN PAYBACK FROM A CROOK. If this passes,government will control unions,unions will control the workers.WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!USING CHILDREN FOR MAKING A MUTE POINT IS CRIMINAL
The market is killing the golden goose for short term gains; our economy is built on a house of cards. Its not working and it is falling apart, wake up dude we lost 1.2 million jobs just in 2008 and 16 million since 2000, union and non union. How do you replace those jobs? Please dont tell me high tech; 16 million high tech jobs, I dont see it happening.
We as middle class workers need to organize in some way. We need to have some push back for the downward pressure the ultra rich power base is putting on the workers. We need a organize work force so we have some political power to turn back the one sided trade policies. We have no chance in hell to be completive with Chinese workers that make $35 a month on average.
Strengthening workers right to organize will strengthen and stabilize the greater economy at the expense of private plutocratic wealth. Just what the Dr. ordered for our flailing economy.
Finally the voice of sanity and of course from a Democrat. The secret ballot idea is a RED HERRING.......The Employee Free Choice Act is about forming unions. The bosses dont like unions. They dont want labor to have a voice which is a harmony of many voices. They dont want labor to have any control of their own destiny. They dont want labor to have an "agent" in the event their rights are violated. The RED HERRING is the secret ballot. Do some research. Support LABOR!!!! Support this!!
Part 2- I wouldn't have a problem with a "secret ballot", but it HAS TO be a secret from EMPLOYERS too. Companies can't hire Jackson-Lewis to bust the union, fire workers who are union friendly, interview to captive audiences and still claim that the ballot is "secret".
